At Griffin, our top priority is creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment where every student thrives and feels valued. We believe all students have the right to feel respected and secure at school.

Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying (HIB) are behaviors that seriously disrupt this environment and can harm a student's well-being and ability to learn. We take all reports of HIB very seriously and are committed to fostering a community built on respect.

To uphold this commitment, we are continuously working to build and improve our systems for HIB reporting and response. We know that reporting an incident can be difficult, which is why we are focused on providing students with several safe, accessible, and confidential options to share their concerns.

How to Make a HIB Report

If your student experiences or witnesses HIB, we strongly encourage them to report it. Here are the ways you can do so:

Online Reporting: The most direct way to report is through our official online reporting form. This can be submitted by a student or family member at any time from school or home.
Paper Forms: We also provide physical, written reporting forms. These are available in the main office and the counseling center. Students can fill out the form and return it to any staff member they trust.
In-Person Report: Students are always encouraged to speak directly with a trusted adult at school. This can be any teacher, counselor, administrator, or staff member. We are here to listen and help.

All reports are taken seriously and will be investigated promptly and thoroughly. Our actions are guided by our district policy, which you can review in detail here: Griffin Policy 3207 and Procedure 3207P

We encourage all families to talk with their students about what HIB looks like and the importance of saying something if they see or experience it. Your partnership is essential in keeping Griffin a safe and positive place for everyone.
